Q. Why doesn’t Flight allow me to download in 300dpi?

*Please note: as of May 22, Flight is now Canto. All references to Flight in this article refer to Canto.

 

A. Flight automatically looks at the file quality and gives download options accordingly. Which means – if the file is below 300dpi resolution you will not see this option under downloads.

Q. Where can I put my recent files I’m working on?

A. With the introduction of My Collections users can create their own personal Collection basket or light box of their favourite files, or, for example, recent files they are currently working on. You can create new, update and even delete My Collections as much as you like.

 

Q. Why can’t I see the checkmark on the file I’m clicking on?

A. In Branding Settings you have a choice of selecting different colours for your interface: Primary colour is the background colour of top ribbon. Secondary colour is the control button colour. These two colours should not be the same as in some circumstances they are juxtaposed.

Q. When do I use Relate Files?

A. You can relate files that you want to associate. Instead of adding metadata or tags to cross reference and search on, you can simply relate them. A great example is having a Model Release Form associated with an image. You can have as many related files as you like.

 

Q. What to put in the copyright field?

A. An easy way to mark a copyright is using the © symbol.
